‘I don’t like sweet things…’ Prue Leith’s revelation suggested she was on the wrong programme. Caramel Week stopped even Steven Carter-Bailey looking so smug on The Great British Bake Off, by Jim Shelley

After three episodes sponging off the BBC’s ingredients for success, Channel 4 finally came up with a new idea for The Great British Bake Off, or rather its first good one.

‘Caramel Week’ was certainly an improvement on other contributions: adding 15 minutes’ worth of adverts or Noel Fielding being zany (claiming he was ‘part wasp’, eating flowers etc).

It was just a shame the theme didn’t work out that well – for the contestants or one of the judges.
